Like a miniature version of its namesake, the Colorado Symphony Orchestra’s “Symphonic Tribute to Comic Con” is all over the map when it comes to invoking and celebrating nerd culture.

Last year’s debut event featured the CSO performing songs from the “Star Wars,” “Star Trek” and “Lord of the Rings” films alongside video game scores (including the work of Denver native and guest conductor Austin Wintory, such as Journey), superhero themes and more.

This year’s event has promised to expand on last year’s successful first outing with more Batman (which makes sense, given the debut of “Gotham” on TV), Beetlejuice and some returning favorites — including Wintory.

The pops programming at the Colorado Symphony Orchestra rarely gets as nerd-friendly as it is for the upcoming “Comic Con” show on Nov. 16.

“The Hero’s Journey: A Symphonic Tribute to Comic Con” will see the full orchestra performing tunes from “Star Trek,” “Star Wars,” “Dr. Who,” “Aliens” and various video games — and we learned this week that it has just added DeVotchKa vocalist/songwriter Nick Urata and Denver-bred composer Austin Wintory to the roster.

Wintory, as you may know, wrote the first full video game score ever to be nominated for a Grammy for last year’s Journey, a game which topped numerous Best of 2012 lists (he lost, unfortunately, to the “Girls With the Dragon Tattoo” soundtrack).

UPDATE: Wintory confirmed to us that he will be conducting the Colorado Symphony Orchestra during the “Journey” portion of the program. “It’ll be a debut with them for me as both composer and conductor. Nothing short of a lifelong dream on both counts!” he said via Twitter.

Urata is the leader of Denver’s renowned gypsy-punk-mariachi chameleons DeVotchKa, a band that has also collaborated with the Colorado Symphony in the past. He’ll play the theremin during a few appropriate sci-fi numbers.
